Most Alive Monday

"We come spinning out of nothingness,scattering stars like dust" - RumiIt was so humid that we barely had time to eat our popcorn before it went soft (seriously)...and that was inside our home with the a/c on. Outside the air was so moist, it felt like a steam room and there wasn't a breeze to be had.

My most alive moment this weekend:

I made my first pinwheel for Satch out of a branch and this pattern. We took it over to the air purifier and watched it spin wildly. Satch experimented with different heights and angles.

While he napped I made him a paper giraffe which gave me another idea for a parade of animals to hang from the ceiling above the air vents so they will move with the current. The link to these paper toys and much MUCH more is in my sidebar under the category "make" and subject "toys".

I've decided to make at least one "most alive choice" each day and post my favorite each Monday. This, of course, is to motivate me to consciously "live juicy"! I hope you'll join me and share your "most alive choice" in the comments section.

You may also post photos of your "most alive moments" in my most alive flickr pool!(If you post a photo in pool, be sure to include your link in the comment)

Words to live by...

"To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty...
To leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition."
